'''Cnut''' (c. 990 – 1035), often known under the epithet '''the Great''', was King of [[England]] from 1016 until his death, King of [[Denmark]] from 1018 until his death, and King of [[Norway]] from 1028 until his death.

==Biography==
His father [[Sweyn Forkbeard]], had seated himself as King of the English in 1013 after dethroning King [[Æthelred the Unready]]. Cnut later took the crown himself, after Æthelred again, and his son, {{Wiki|Edmund Ironside}}. With Cnut's death and the death of his progeny, the Wessex dynasty returned to the throne, with [[Edward the Confessor]].<ref>''[[Echoes of History|Echoes of History: Vikings]]'' – Episode 5: The Dawn of a New Era</ref>
